What's your thesis statement?

Pop quiz! Think about each question then highlight the answer to read it.

What's the most important part of your essay?

Answer: The thesis

What's a thesis?

Answer: The thesis is a single argument your entire essay is based on. 

What's a good thesis?

Answer: A good thesis is clear, direct and a usable argument (For example, "Red is a pretty color" is not a great thesis because nobody especially cares, and it is an opinion most people would not disagree with).

Since it is so important, I thought maybe you'd like some feedback on your thesis statement - Is it good? Is it bad? Can it better? If you want feedback please leave your thesis statement as a comment on this post.
